We also have machines on the upper deck, thick-handled dumbbells from 5 to 150 pounds in 2 -pound increments, four BFS mega-hex bars, and we have a couple of large crossover pieces.<br><br>BFS: Do you usually have three athletes per platform?<br>Brooks: Yes, that works out pretty well with teams. We could probably go four on a platform if necessary.<br><br>BFS: How many student-athletes can be training in your facility at one time?<br>Brooks: We could probably fit 24 people on the platforms, so we can handle a lot of teams because you re not going to find many teams much bigger than that  certainly not a basketball team.<br><br>BFS: What s the approximate square footage?<br>Brooks: About 5,300 square feet.<br><br>BFS: Are there plans to build a bigger weightroom?<br>Brooks: The room needs to be bigger to allow for more machines, platforms and other equipment. The fitness center gets a tremendous amount of use from the Williams community. We ve talked about what needs to be done, but there are lot of projects going on in the college and the administration tends to like to do one thing at a time.<br>BFS: Do you work with the regular faculty and the student body?<br>Brooks: Certainly, and I try to be as assessable as possible. I get a lot of requests for individual programs, but sometimes I just have to tell them I m just too busy and can only give them general guidelines. But, at the same time, we also have physical education classes for the student body, from beginning to advanced, to help these individuals. <br><brss, it wouldn t surprise anyone if Coach Gorham pursued a job at the college level. But he says,  I m very happy where I am right now. I think I can havea greater impact on kids lives at the high school level than at the collegiate level. Coach Gorham enthusiastically acknowledges his players commitment to the BS program as a major force behind their team s greatness.  Two players who were starters on the offensive line adn t even played football the previous year, and three of the other members on the offensive line weren t even able to start on the Junior Varsity team. They got started with BFS. BFS made these young men effective players and allowed them to make a major contribution to our team.<br> I remember reading a quote attributed to the legenary coach of the Dallas Cowboys, Tom Landry. He said,  Coaching is getting players to do what they don t want to do so that they can become what they ve only dreamed of becoming. With the BFS program it doesn t take much to get them to want to do it. There are immediate rewards: they are breaking records right away, automatically establishing new goals. It s so exciting and reassuring to know that there is a resource like BFS available to coaches to help them guide <br>their kids to become the players  they have only dreamed <br>of becoming. <br><br>What the Players at East Provide qΙM^LЇo]Z x -G"MF&[SWNi7QM
